UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

AUGUST WEBER, or NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

IMPROVEMENT IN CASTER-BOTTLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,564, dated July 1,1873; application filed May 14, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST WEBER, of

' Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have inventedImprovement in Bottles for Sauces, &c., of which the following is aspecification:

The object of this invention is to exclude the sauce or other liquidcontents from the atmosphere, and allow for the ejecting of a smallquantity at a time upon food or other substances. I make use of a bottleto hold the liquid, and at one end thereofis a screw-cap with aplunger-rod passing through it, and at the other end is a nipple andcylinder. The plunger acting in the cylinder ejects more or less liquidthrough the nipple.

In the drawing I have shown the said bottle by a vertical section.

The bottle a is made with a neck, receiving the collar b, that isprovided with a screw that receives the cap 0, and an elastic washerrenders v the joint water-tight. Through the cap a a rod, d, passes,that is provided with a head,

0, at the upper end and apistomk, at thelower end. A spring, '8, servesto lift this rod d and piston 70 and confine an elastic washer, 1,between the cap 0 and a collar, 0, upon the rod d so as to make thejoint between the rod d and cap 0 tight. At the lower end of the bottlea. is-an opening receiving-the nipple r and its cylinder 8.

These manner any desired quantity of the sauce or other liquid can bedelivered in a small jet. The piston and rod being drawn back by thespring 2' produces a sufficient exhaustingaction to prevent the liquiddropping from the nipple r.

The shape of the bottle a may be varied according to the use to whichthe liquid is tobe put, and a saucer may be provided for the bottle tostand in, or the bottle may be inverted in the stand when used as acaster.

\ I claim as my invention- The bottle a, screw-cap 0, rod d, springt'and piston k, in combination with the cylinder 3 and nipple r, as andfor the purposes set forth.

Signed by me this 8th day of May, 1873.

AUGUST WEBER.
